Review Time: Red Dog #1

Red Dog is the story about a colony of humans who have moved to another planet to mine a substance that has enabled Imperium which allows people to travel through time and space. Unfortunately the substance is on a particularly inhabitable planet, so the few amount of humans living there have to survive on rations and stay within a dome. Young Kylo was the first child born in the settlement and was given an impressive robot dog named Q to keep him company.

The Good

Kylo seems like a very enthusiastic and sweet kid who just wants to fit in where there doesn’t seem to be a place for him. He feels very relatable to anyone who may have been a bit of an outcast growing up.

I want a robot dog. He is amazing and I want him to be in the story more.

Story seems to hint at the conflict just enough to make you want to keep reading.

The Bad

The hints of conflict are left very much in the air so those who hate cliff hangers might want to wait for the 6 issue run is complete.

Moves a little bit slow to build up the back story first but it picks up by the end, leaving the aforementioned cliff hanger.

The Art

Has an almost futuristic feel with parts of it. The humans obviously look human, but they do a good job of mixing the robotics into the more agricultural environment.

Once again, I love Q. He is so cute and happy and reminds me of my own clumsy dog even though he is completely robotic.

Red Dog is an interesting story that meshes a lot of different themes and genres into one. The young kid and his dog are a pretty interesting contrast to the scientific and futuristic back drop of their community.
